U.S. Capitalists Supported Investment in Nazi Military Build-Up To World War II

This is a very good article which traces the history of how industrialists in the West helped support the building up of the German military. Capitalism needs fascism in times of its own crisis, and it has no reservations in supporting it in other parts of the world when it is not in crisis. It’s a long article. But it’s well worth the time.
